I'm continuing my long, slow playthrough of #FFXIV and have just finished the main MSQ for #Stormblood. Really enjoyed it on the whole... The story-telling felt snappy and quick coming back from #GenshinImpact, and there were some interesting action quests among the "go here, talk to this guy" quests.
I didn't like the enforced social raid at the end, but it was fine as a black mage.
Looking forward to #Shadowbringers now (after the in-between quests).
For the second time in my reading career, I'm giving up on Neal Stephenson's #Quicksilver.
I first tried it in '09, my first Kindle book and managed about 25%. This time I got slightly further, 35%, before bouncing off.

You won't hear us post much about our local (around 3 miles away) #parkrun, and the elevation chart betrays the reason why. Flatts Lane has a brutal hill section that you have to run twice, and that's been enough to put us off.

No regrets. Well, except leg regret, ankle regret, ptsd regret. Beat my previous course best by a good four minutes, but felt every mile of it.
